Now, I am not talking about people bailing you out or providing finances, although that can happen. I am talking about having relationships with a variety of people that can provide insight, encouragement, ideas, support, motivation etc.
What types of people: pastors, friends, business associates, co-workers, teachers, family members, etc. Let’s take a look at reality, in today’s economy:
1. Talent will not save you. A lot of talented people are unemployed.
2. More training and education will not save you.
3. The government will not save you. Buy helping you, they usually enslave you with new taxes.
Having a network of people that you can tap into for wisdom and guidance can provide a life line to you in a time of need. Also you can also be a lifeline for someone else.
A recent study of successful people revealed that they had a large network of peers that they turned to for advice in a wide variety of areas. They knew who to call for specific information and who they could trust to be upfront and sincere in their advice.
How about you? How are your contacts? Would you know who to call if you needed advice quickly for a particular problem that your are facing?
It’s never too late to start cultivating relationships, even if you feel inadequate in dealing with people or are shy and quiet.

Hi Jacques .. yes we all need friends and contacts - reliable and trustworthy ones.
We need to question all the time, when life is difficult - ask for advice and think about our own life ..what else can we do ..
Thanks for that -
